With over 50 years of combined experience, our team supports upstream, midstream, and downstream facilities with engineering, inspections, QA/QC, and compliance solutions.

We work with integrity and technical precision to ensure your site remains safe, compliant, and operational.

Hazardous Area Challenges in Oil & Gas

Oil and gas facilities operate in environments where flammable gases, vapours, and liquids create constant ignition risk.

Common challenges include:

• Complex hazardous area classifications
• Non-compliant equipment from global supply chains
• Degradation of Ex equipment in harsh environments
• Temporary equipment not meeting site standards
• Gaps in inspection and maintenance programmes

Without proper EEHA management, these risks can lead to incidents, downtime, and regulatory exposure.

Our EEHA Services for Oil & Gas

EEHA Engineering, Installation & QA/QC

We provide end-to-end support for hazardous area systems, including:

• Engineering design and compliance verification
• Installation oversight and QA/QC
• Third-party verification and certification

Ensuring all systems meet AS/NZS (IEC) 60079 standards and project specifications.

Module & Skid Compliance (Global Supply Chain)

Oil & gas facilities often rely on modular or skid-based construction sourced internationally. Despite best efforts, non-conformances are common.

We help identify and resolve issues through:

• Pre-commissioning inspections
• Compliance audits against Australian standards
• QA/QC verification during fabrication and installation
• Rectification planning and implementation

This ensures imported equipment meets local regulatory and operational requirements.

Temporary Equipment Compliance

Temporary and transportable equipment presents a major compliance risk in hazardous areas.

We support operators and vendors with:

• Pre-mobilisation inspections of EEHA equipment
• Verification against site standards and regulations
• Identification of non-compliance before deployment
• Guidance for rectification and safe installation

Helping ensure equipment arrives compliant, safe, and ready for use.
